The BodyPop Questionnaire
Meet Caraline - Actress & Animal Lover! 😻
Welcome to The BodyPop Questionnaire, where a special guest answers questions and gives recommendations that are “a little body image, a little pop culture!” If you’re interested in being featured, head on over here! 📝 I’d absolutely love to have you! 💗
Hi, Everyone! I’m so happy to introduce you to this week’s special guest, Caraline! This sweet gal definitely has a Substack-shaped place in my heart; she’s been a supporter of Uncle Ronnie from the beginning! Caraline’s a TALENTED actress who you can find on Instagram showing her love of animals. (You’ll also see this in her social media rec…I def went into a bit of a rabbit hole on this one!)
And so, it is my pleaszh to introduce Caraline!

Flowy dresses.
Is there a type of movement you enjoy - walking the dog/taking an exercise class/etc.?
Pole dance class.
What's the difference between how you view your body now, as opposed to how you viewed it when you were younger?
I was insecure despite being super skinny. Now, I am no longer super skinny and have “traditional” flaws that bother me. I used to not exercise at all because I was too weak and embarrassed. Now I exercise because I am weak/to gain strength.
Who's your "Body Icon" - aka a celebrity you admire for or whose influenced you in how they handle body image - and why?
Lana Del Rey! She used to be super skinny and then became a weightlifter.
